Bruno Le Floch submitted the
multiexpand
package to CTAN.
Summary description: Variations on the expandafter primitive
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Macros meant to avoid using too many expandafter. Should hopefully be
compatible with plain, LaTeX and ConTeXt, but requires eTeX's
umexpr.
This was written before I had understood LaTeX3's variant mechanism, and I
advise people who fight with expansion to use LaTeX3 rather than multiexpand.

Scott Pakin submitted the
threadcol
package to CTAN.
Summary description: Organize document columns into PDF article threads
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The threadcol package combines a document's columns into a
PDF article thread. PDF readers that support this
mechanism (probably just Adobe Acrobat/Reader) can be
instructed to scroll automatically from column to column,
which facilitates on-screen reading of two-column documents.
Even for single-column documents, threadcol supports the
creation of multiple article threads, which help organize
discontiguous but logically related regions of text into a
form that the user can scroll through as if its contents
were contiguous.

Uwe Lück submitted an update to the
morehype
package.
Summary description: Tools for hyperref and HTML
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
morehype r0.81 as of 2013/01/04:
TEXLINKS v0.81:
`texlinks' v0.81 changes some defaults and offers new
choices for CTAN package description pages. The
documentation also gives a little overview of what the
different interfaces offer.
`texlinks' v0.81 also generates links to Google search pages
and Google maps (think of TeX user meetings), moreover to
question pages on tex.stackexchange.com and on
stackoverflow.com, and finally to the Wikibook on TeX.
These macros generate the full URLs from minimal identifiers
(and memorizable macro names) in the site-specific way.
The documentation contains several new examples.
BLOG v0.81:
* egin{enumtype}{<1/a/A/i/I>} resembling the `enumerate'
package becomes official.
* HTML entities added: soft hyphen (-), ...caron; (v),
...lig; (AE etc.)
* Documentation of `markblog' in `blog.pdf' mentions
alternative implementations of simplified/non-TeX markup
(especially `interpreter').
BLOGEXEC v0.21:
* The {noblog} environment becomes official. It
generates no HTML code at all, as opposed to `blog''s
{commentlines} that generates an HTML comment.
